Agenda

  • The DAUF project - “Datadriven Analys och Uppföljning av KTHs Forskning”

  • A demo of the “KTH Publication Analysis app” with projects data from CASE

  • Overview of available data sources for projects at KTH

  • Your questions and feedback

Background and progress

DAUF - background and context

Trend towards better overview of research outputs as well as integration of systems.

Example from Stanford

  Stanford RIALTO project (Youtube)

Related, currently at KTH

Progress - What is new during Q1 2023?

  • KTH Publication Analysis app
    • allowing exploration of co-publication and collaboration at KTH
    • for ad-hoc research groups
    • rolling data
    • CASE projects data
  • ABM
    • Sustainable Development Goals
  • Mobilizations of projects data from other sources
    • CASE
    • SweCris
    • CORDIS (EU projects)
    • Other sources

Demo of KTH Publication Analysis app

KTH Publication Analysis app

The idea is that the analysis app will complement the Annual bibliometric monitoring (ABM), and answer questions like:

  • Who are the main collaborating partners to the division of Electric Power and Energy Systems?
  • How large is the publication output of the department of Gene technology over time, in co-publication with German organisations?
  • Which senior staff at CBH is collaborating with MIT, and what is the bibliometric performance of this research compared to CBH baseline?
  • What is the publication output and project count for an ad hoc grouping of staff related to a particular project?

Projects related to staff from ITM:Energy technology

Example based on TECoSA

TECoSA Centre running since 2020 used as example, based on 9 PIs.

Some summary stats:

  • 462 publications 2010-2022

  • 137 publications 2020-2022 (e.g. from the TECoSA-period)

  • 28 projects in CASE

  • 14 projects 2020-2021 (seems to be more in CASE, but some with missing data on duration)

  • Info on funders and SDG-goals on projects

  • Picture of collaborations, through co-publication

Data for projects at KTH

DAUF and data about projects

  • DAUF has been building bottom-up data consolidation and analytics for KTH, making links between Researchers <-> Outputs <-> Projects <-> Organisations

  • “Which projects are active? Which researchers are involved? Grant sizes?”

Definition of “project”?

There is no single “source of truth” for all projects at KTH. Data requirements depend on who asks the questions and for what purpose.

  • What is a project, really? It is an amorphous/vague concept:
    • Externally financed research activity, i.e. requires that funder(s) and funding exists?
    • A call which has (not yet?) been awarded financing?
    • Internal ongoing “project work” - internally financed?
    • A way to topically group publications and their authors together?

Data sources for projects

Overview of available data sources

  • Descriptions of data sources
  • Data flows and access
  • Combining data sources for KTH projects

CASE (I/II)

An internal project management system at KTH, mainly used by the schools and RSO.

CASE (II/II)

  • Encompasses projects that have received funding from 29 different agencies, covering a time frame from 2009 to 2024

  • Although information on funding organizations is available, it remains insufficient and requires improvement (e.g. 22% are NA)

Swecris

  • There are seven funding agencies in Swecris
  • Noticeably, the share of missing information of Primary Researcher and Leading role is moderately high, ca 20%

CORDIS

  • <Overview here - nr of records, update frequency, fields available, keys>

Combining data sources for projects

  • <Overlap - Unions and intersections for different data sources>

Selection (Urval)

  • Case versus sweCris

    • In total, 174 unique KTH research projects could be matched based on ID, Title, and Primary Researcher.

Why the discrepancy?

Ancillary results

Project data - discussion

  • Do you have a need to follow-up projects from both the “contract” perspective and the “research subject” perspective?

Future work and directions

  • <Product Owners, Future Outlook>
  • Subject area analysis
    • UKÄ/SCB categories
    • Topic clusters and keywords
    • Journal classifications

Questions and feedback

Questions and Answers

Please provide your input!

  • Do you think what was presented in the demonstration meets your needs for analytical exploration?
  • Would additional reference datasets be needed?
  • Would additional ways to slice and dice the data along other dimensions be useful?
  • Would parameterized interactive reports be useful in addition to the raw data and the app?
  • Are metrics related to author sequence/order useful?
  • Other questions from the Zoom chat
  • Suggestions and comments
